THE HTTLBM THAT DIED.
I am all alone in my chamber now,
And the midnight hour is near, . .
And the faggot’s crack and the clock’s dull tick
■ Are the only sounds I hear.
And over my soul in its solitude,
' Sweet feelings of gladness glide;
•For my heart and my eyes are full when I think
V Of the little boy that died.
tl wenfjMte night to my father’s house—
s, to tho dear ones all j
And softly lopencd the garden gate,
. lin'd softly the door of tho hqjl.

/ 'She kissed mo and then she sighed;

. For the littjo boy that died. ■
T shall miss him when the flowers come
• . Inthegardon whore he played;

And the horse ho used to ride;

With her playmates about the door;

FAREWELL.
'' There is a word whoso solemn tonq
, Comes o’er the spirit like a kneli j
1 Ahd’sadder fhan tho ocean’s moan,
■- Is that low, trembling Bound, “farewell.”
It flits across the heart’s green bowers,
When roses bloom without a thorn;
And ,cn its gay and fragrant flowers, .
.■ It leaves a Wight—a waste forlorn.
in this dark World we often hear
That word, so like a passing boll;
And sunniest days of joy and cheer
Are ever followed “farewell.”
But on that loved and loving shore,
Whore death and sorrow cannot dwell,
Fond, trusting hearts shall part no inoro,
Nor breathe that tearful word, “farewell.’

I Tho Original Good Woman*
if , I'M Original GoodiVoiflan, though hot given
f to much speaking, was remarkable for always
Speaking to the purpose, and never betraying
Uny inconsistency or inconsecutiveness in con
versation. In'reply to the question, Why ? or
Wherefore ? she was accustomed either fo give
reason, or to confess she had none to give.—.
Her conduct, moreover, was singularly rational,
■and not dictated by whim, caprice, or the blind
, impulse of the moment. On the other hand,
'albeit she was not by any means insensible to
praise or admiration, yet the desire ot attract
ing, it was not always uppermost in her mind,
iirid did not constitute her chief and main con-1
sideration.
.; In brief, reasonableness and freedom from va
nity were the distinctive features of her charac
ter : for the rest she was endowed with the good
qualities which are peculiarly feminine; But it
.observed that bet understanding was of a parti
cular nature; she was no fhetaphysician or ma
thematician.: she gave her mind to the study of
.her part iu life, and consequently she acted it
well: and engrossed in itsperformanco.with the
htonhdss of the scene, she was not always curt
. joying at the spectators.
" Her expenditure on dress, whilst She was sin.
glo, was proportionate to (he moans of her lami
:*y j when she became a wife, to those of her
, 'husband. She was never known to bo disoontr
' -ed or unhappy for the want of some piece Of
' dtucry which she could not afford. Her attire
#as regulated by her own taste, without any
further, reference to fashion than was necessary
to avoid being conspicuous.. When, at one
time, she' was getting rather plump, instead of
pinching her waist, she reduced her diet; - and i
one of .the few persons that she over treated with
Contempt was a ntodish acquaintance Who re
commended her to'“lace a little.” Anotherwas
a relation who counselled her to-wear ear-rings.
Her infancy was remarkable for an early aban
donment of ■ her doll, and for the moderation of
her delight in new frocks. All her instructors
wore' proud of their pupil; but the least loud in
hercommendation was her dancing-master.
' ShoWns much more solicitous ahont-her, health
•than her complexion: and for the sake of cxer
; ; ctse would walk bravely forth in all weathers,
IdrCssed rather with'reference to the day and
season, than with respect to the eyes of behold,
■ors. Thus site spoiled very few bonnets and
•Other apparel by' being caught in showers, and
such like • accidents. Hence, too, perhaps it
was. that she enjoyed such an immunity from
.illness; .(ortho Original Good Woman was un
conunoniy fortunate in this particular. She
Was never known to fhint, or bo troubled with
hysterics; and was, ’wonderfully free from all
'sinkings, swimmings, darlings, shootings, draw
ings, spasms, and all-over-iahhess. Her ailments,
Wheii she had any, wore plain, downright,. une
quivocal maladies; as fevers, inflamations, quin,
sios, colds In the head—.strange to say, they wore
nil such’as. are recognized by the medical facul
ty, Otherwise a most elegant creature, she was.
.'sever elegantly indisposed; nor did she over
:ancqurago herself in the persuasion that she
'Was unwell, still less affect to be so. And on
•no occasion did she ever declare that she was
paying except once, when it was almost the last
•Wproghe ever spoke.
Her conversation was distinguished by a free
dom ftom needless interjections; from appeals,
(0 her goodness I and her gracious! and from de
clarations that site never! It seldom related to
clothes, unless she was about to purchase them;
It never tended to the prejudice of her acquaint
ances, nor turned on their potty doings and ai
. (kits. They might add to their wardrobes wilh
-out her noticing the circumstance; they might
display bad taste in-so doing without exciting
any other comment on hot part but a smile.—
6be was more interested'in the discourse than
'inthe costume of her friends; and when she
came awhyfrom church, she better remembered
what wos-eald than .what .was worn there,

of his wife, ns to what conrso, in this -conjec
ture, he should pursue. She exhorted him to
resist tho temptation; to trample the bribe under
foot; and told him that she felt prouder of him
for his moral position than'she should bo woro
ho a President. “.The thing,” said tho Origi
nal Good Woman, “ not tho glory, for us I”
His ascent, however, to eminence was a strug
gle. In this she did not embarrass, but com
forted him; shb.waa a'wife, but not an encum
brance.' Never did sbo'onco strive to divert hint
from the true and good path for tho sake ofiux
nry or ostentation.' No dosiro to . outvie her
neighbors'in show, style, and mode of living,
over prompted her to endeavor to influence his
proceedings. Ho received uoliints from her of
an; inclination for carriages and a livery; she was
content with his aiming at a comfortable subsist
ence and, provision, for themselves,and family.
She was Wont to consult with him on their com
mon affairs, and to give and take advice thereon
in good part.
As a mother, she was careful and tender of
her offspring; but she did not spoil orpefthem;
nor was she possessed with a notion that'there
were no such other children in existence. In
their management, during infancy, she was gui
ded by her physician, and not by'hcr monthly
nurse; having, in fact, a profound contempt for.
the sayings and practices Cf all gossips and goo
dies. Hence, on no pretext was she afflicted by.
a craving for inaccessible rarities, and fancies!
of that description. She had her weaknesses;
bufsho dospisod them and strove to bo rid of
them. Except tor strong cause, the Original
Good Woman never wept.
■ I In youth she.was beautiful; and her charms, 1
as she advanced in age, wore not destroyed, hut
only changed. Sheworo her own hair after it
had become grey, and was at no pains to tinker
up her. Thus shh grew old without growing
ridiculous; and when sho could no longer bo
handsome, she was, venerable.
Scanty and Intelligence.
' It is not the most perfect in outward form
who usually inspire the deepest love.' History
shows its that the most lasting and profound at
tachments wore lavished on women possessing
, hut a moderate share of persons] attractions:. —
Beauty in itself, is so’alluring and captivating,:
that it is worth our while to consider in what:
consists the mysterious and subtle charm which
has the power to enchain the heart, in. spite of
the eye’s criticism. Women have, in.all ages,
regarded beauty as the most effectual weapon
to conquer and subdue man; and the desire to
possess if, wobeg to suppose; results not from;
. any passion for domination, blit from laudable
desire to influence him for his.own Comfort and
happiness. However this may be, well-inten
tioned or not, their solicitude for. the possession'
of beauty has induced women of all times and.
.nations fo sparch after those things which.seem i
to offer a chance ot concealing imperfections,
and enhancing or embellishing their natural at
tractions. This has led them into numerous
follies and extravagances, and given encourage
ment.to a crowd of charlatans, who have known,
how to speculate upon a woman’s anxiety to;
appear beautiful. It the hours expended in
contrivances lor the casket were employed in
polishing the jewels within—if half tlio . time
consumed in the consideration of a coiffure, or
even injtho arrangement of a corsage, were de-i
voted to the moral,training ot tho heartwhich,
boats within, and the developing the vastenpa-;
hilities of that noble portion of the human Irnraoi
which renders it the most beautiful and.intolli-i
gent of created beings, woman would find, her
influence more powerful and unfailing ; the ad.;i
I duration she would excite would be'sentimcht|
compounded of esteem, and love; and .in rdih
dering herself worthy of these, slio would at
tain what tho toilette, ’with, all its attendant
mysteries; , is of itself insufficient to accomplish'.
The loftier'ambition to be admired for the
graces of tho nmid, niore than for those of the;
person, would suggest the habitual practice of
the social virtues-of .amiability; kindness and
good.temper,-as well as the careful culture of
all the faculties which retino the'taste, elevate;
the soul, and ennoble the heart.' Intelligence,
unlike fashions of the day, becomes all counte
nances; and, sweetness of temper has the ines
timable advantage of making ugly women ap
pear pretty, and elderly ones.yoitthful, -....
. It is a responsible duty woman owes to her
self, as well as’to her family and society,to ren
der herself pleasing and agreeable. • Her person
claims a certain degree of attention ; she has a
right to study the art of dress, and to avail
herself of the legitimate appliances for the im
provement Of her appearance; but the most
scrupulous attention to the toilet will never
make her sufficiently attractive to be loveable
or estimable. Rich, well-chosen apparel will
not compensate for a cold heart; a glowing
cheek does not neutralize the effect of a freezing,
supercillious manner ; nor a bright smile soften
the severity of an uncharitable,word.
, Woman is happily endowed with qualities Of
a gentle and enduring nature, tvltich are often
suffered to lie dorrnant or run riot. Slits is em-
inently qualified to bo a high worker of benev
olence—an inspirer of high and generouslseriti
iuents—an instigator of noble deeds; let her
riot sink into the thraldom of vanity; letjier
not be what we are (old some sagacious sage
defines her—"an animal that delights in .fine
ry.” Let her awake to her own responsibilities,
rind feel conscious that her-influencej well -in
tentioned, and wisely directed, is a regenerating
principle; that it is not the well-dresScd beau
ty, but the woman of higlr intelligence and
sweet temper, who becomes the theme of gene
ral admiration and individual attachment—the
inspiration of the hour—the good genius of eve
ry scene. —Anthcnaum

Wliat is your Vocation!
Some writer affirms that every man has “a
callI’—a 1 ’ —a mission—his own vocation. lie has
something to do which no other one can perform
as well as himself. In this vocation ho has no
rival. There is some peculiar; Opening which
ho one else can fill; someground which he alone
can occupy. In'this one direction all space is.
tree to him; there are obstructions on every 1
side but one. His- peculiar talent and fitness,
if the call., It depends on his* own organize—
lion rbe naturally inclines to do, something
which is easy to him, and when done, it’is done
well. The moVe clearly He'consults his own
powers; the more clearly w.ill he discover that
his .work, in- some respects,; will, bo, different
from, that of any other man.. His ambition i
shoujd be exactly proportioned to his.power. '
If iii supposing that because rn some respects
he differs from all other men, arid because he
has power to do what no other man can per
form equally well, ho fancies that he is “‘notin
the roll of common men,” aridnnust of ncoessir
ty bean extraordinary person; he will become
a fanatic, an; enthusiast, and "will spend his
mental strength as one “ who bateth the air.”
Young man—there is ope thing for which
you have a call, a vocation; that, you can per
form better than anything else. Look to it in
season that you do not mistake your calling.;—

• Emancipation.of the Serfs iri Bussirf. ...
Notwithstanding assertions to the contrary,
it is manifest that there is very little opposition'
on the part of the nobility of Russia to the plans
of the Empcror-arid his Council of State for the;
einancipa.tion-of.tlio serfs... This is remarkable,
riot only because wo generally look, for opposi
tion to any such radical reforms from the -pri*.

particularly an allotment of land upon which
they may obtain their subsistence. There is no'
doubt that such a measure can -bo much better

it could be in warmer latitudes. In Russia the
emancipated person must work, .and work dili
gently, too, or lie will starve.- Ho cannot lie

Tlic Roclicstcr Trial.
The telegraph, during the past .week,'lias
kept up a brief record daily, of the trial at
Rochester,of Ira Stout, for the murder of Chas.
W. Littles, winch resulted on Friday In a. ver
dict of “guilty.”, The prisoner, was sentenced
on Saturday to bo hanged on the 18th of June.
The murdered man (Littles) was the brother-
in law of tire murderer. Littles had not been
living very happily with his wife (Stout’s sis
ter) and quarrels frequently took,place, lead
ing to separations, and, in one instance, appli
cation, for divorce,-.-but tliftparlics, .neverthe
less, always caino Littles,just
before the murder, was told that his wife was
in the habit of meeting a paramour, in an out
of-the-way place, after dark,—. and ,it ,is sup
posed to have, been with a view of satisfying
himself of her infidelity that, on the fatal night,
after dark to the secluded spot in ques-
tion. .' [The prosecution contended. that this
story about Mr. Littles, was a decoy, designed
to draw licr husband to a place convenient, for
despatching him.] Ilcro nt.least he was mur
dered, and the body, horribly mutilated, was
flung down a precipice, near by. .The theory
i-Vthat the murder was the work conjointly of
Ira Stout and Mrs. Littles,—and there can be
no doubt tlyat, on the trial, that thcory was de
monstrated to the satisfaction of the most cre
dulous;.
When'before the Coroner, and when arraign:
cd for trial subsequently, Stout plead “not
guilty,” but,'on the trial, as the evidence
against hint grew more and more damning, he
instructed hismounscl to plead guilty of mart:
slaughter, admitting the lulling, of Littles, but
not intentionally, nor with premeditation. Lit*
ties, he said, had treated his sister badly, and
in n.quarrel about the matter, his brother-in- 1
law rolled over tne precipice and was killed.
The District "Attorney; however, showed that
this change of front was “too late.” . In his
summing up, addressing the Jury, ho said :
“What is the evidence of it ? Not'a solitary
vestige of it. The counsel shows the proximity
of houses. Was any human voice heard, in the
solitude of.the night?. Where is the quarrel?
If there had been, .it . would have been, heard.
But wo-hear nothing of it. Had these parties
gone down Without knowing what was going
onr I tell you, (here would' have been heard a
voice. If Mrs. Little’s mmd had not been pro:
pared for it, you would have heard a scream
that would have transcended all the thunders of
the cataract. Human nature is the same ovo>
ry where,T’ CO'uld'slie,. unprepared tor (lieevent,
immediately have taken the body 10-the.bank ?
Everything shows that Ujey hayo, been needs
- tamed to such a scene. It a quafrel.who was
’ there to quarrel ? Except the idle statement of
the counsel, there is hi) evidence of a paramour.
If Littles is (hero to quarrel, he is there prepar
ed for a quarrel. There is not the lirsl prepa
ration for it. Coats buttoned, dirk in its usual I
place inside, no movement for offence. The idea I
of a,quarrel is'absrtrd.’,’ I
The testimony oh the trial was in the main
a substantial repetition of that which was elici-
ted on the Coroner’s inquest just after the per
petration of the murder. It is impossible in
(lie face of that testimony to believe that, the pri-
soner was not guilty of it, and, as such, the
verdict of-the jury it is certain, is in harmony
iviih the judgment of all who have paid any
attention to the case; Their decision, it seems,
was reached after very brief consultation, and
was unanimous hpon-tlio first formal express
ion;, During' the course of the trial, the Jurors
had refrained from canvassing the question, or
expressing to each other. their opinions of the
case.' And when they' retired to their room,
after the case was submitted to them, they, re-
solved first to ballot, without discussing'the
question. ' Upon the very first ballot, they
were unanimous for a verdict of guiltyd • Find
ing that they were all of the same mind, it was
proposed then I’d weigh their opinions, in order
to sec if they could reduce the character of th,e
crime to manslaughter'. But their original
conclusions remained unmoved,'and it was am
nounccd to the Court that they were prepared
to deliver their verdict,
The ivoman, as well as the man, is indicted
for the murder, and her trial will come next.
There is a double suspicion,—that instead of
being: brother and'sister,, really, they are more
distantly related, or not related at all,—arid,
that the real motive for thomurder was to get
Littles out of the way,, as the impediment to

Galls on Horses.
An dunce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure. It is bad economy to use poor harness.
The.collar, especially, should always be in good
condition. It should be frequently washed and
oiled; an'occasional pounding .will keep it soft
and in shape. Whenever it becomes thin and
broken, pads should bo worn underneath it.
Galls are occasioned, often, by putting hor
ses to hard work all at once, after a period of
rest, as in the spring, after the winter. As a
means for preparing the horse for such work, it
is well to bathe his breast and back with a so
lution ofalum and'wlnskeyt for several daysbo
forc the labor begins. It is well to use this
preparation alsSyat any other time when the
skin becomes tender. .We* have known small
sores 10 heal up entirely under the use of this
remedy, even though the horse .was kept at
work. ’ ■ * .....I'
■ It is another e.vk’llent, preventative ql galls to
bathe the shoulders of a* working horse once or
twice a week, at .night,- with salt and water,
washing off the same with pure water iu the
morning. • .
When the skin becomes badly broken a horse
should ho allowed a few day’s, rest, or if the
work is very pressing, the harness should be
padded as not to irritate the sore; otherwise,it
would be vain to expect a euro. Some of our
neighbors use white lead, mixed with linseed
oil, (common paint,) to cure galls. And they
often succeed with it: at least they get a hard
incrustation over the broken skin. But we
hardly fancy this tanning a horse’s hide while
ho is yet wearing it .—American Agricultural

going out of the hot air into the piercing cold

utes, and yet they do not lake cold oftener than
others t you will scarcely find a consumptive
person in a thousand of them,
It is wonderful how afraid consumptive peo
ple are of cold air, the very thing that would
cure them; the only obstacle to a cure being
that they do not get enough of it, especially if
it is cold, when it is known that the colder the
purer it must be; yet if people cannot go to a
hotter climate, they will make an artificial one,
and imprison themselves a whole winter in a
room with a temperature not varying ten de
grees in six months; all such people die, and
yet we follow .in their footsteps. If I were se
riously ill of consumption, I would live. Out of
doors day and night, except it were raining or
midwinter; then! would sleep in-an nnplaster
cd log house. My. consumptive friends, you
want air not physic; you want pure air, not
medicated air; you want, nutrition, such as ■
plenty of meat and bread can give, and they
alone; physic has no 'nutriment; gaspings for
air cannot cure you, and stimulants cannot euro
you. If you want lo.get well, go in for beef and,
out of door air and do not be deluded into the

cates.—Dr. Hull.

“Poixe hoi," or ; cow-fish, a species.of rnanatus;
which inhabits the Amazon, and is particularly
abundant in the lakes in this part of the river.
It was a female about six feet long, and about
five in circumference in the thickest part. The
body is perfectly smooth, and without any pro
jection or inequality, gradually changing into a
- horizontal, semi-circular flat tail, with no ap
pearance whatever, of hind limbs. There is no

very small. The color is a dusky lead, with
some large pinkish white marbled blotches on
the belly. The skin ts about an inch thick on
ic back, and a quarter of an inch on the belly.
Beneath the skin is a layer of fat of a greater or
less thickness, generally about an'inch, which
is boiled down to make an oil used for light and
for cooking. The intestines are very volumin
ous, the heart about the size of a sheep’s, and
the lungs about two feet long, and six or seven
inches wide, very cellular and spongy, and can
be blown out like a bladder. The skull is largo
and solid, with no front teeth; the vertebrae
extends to the very tip of the tail, but shows
no rudiments of posterior limbs; the fore limbs,
on the contrary, are highly developed,(he bones

Preserving Gathered Flowers.—For the
benefit of our lady readers, we copy the follow
ing recipe for preserving the beauty of gathered
flowers:
Procure a flat dish of porcelain. Into which
pour water; place upon it avuse offlowers, and
over the vase a bell-glass, with its rift* in the
water. The air that surrounds the flowers,
being confined beneath the, bell-glass,, is con
stantly moist.with water, that rises into it in
the form of vapor. As fast as the water be
comes condensed, it runs down the side of the
bell-glass into the dish; and if means bo taken
to enclose the water on the outside of the bell
glass, so as to prevent it evaporating into the
air of the setting .room, the atmosphere around
the flowers is continunlly-damp. The plan is
designated the “ Hopean Apparatus. The ex
periment may ■bp tried on a sinafl scale by in
verting a tumbler over a rosebud in a saucer of

purpose of visiting the saw-pits, which were
about a mile or more towards tho midst of tho
forest. Having reached there, and trafisacted
the business on hand, he was informed of a
small rivulet, at a distance further on. among
the woods, forming some verv picturesque cas
cades,- and tho banks of which .were covered
with a beautiful and rare kind of flower. - Ha
therefore starled.alonp on a ramble in search of
it,'and succeeded, at length, after some, littla
difficulty, iii making it out. Scducpd, by tjia
wild loveliness of thp scene, he advanced further
on at the other'side Of the stream, along what Is

sixty ugly, awkward wretches, that seemed to
mock at .the courage of their adversary, and
certainly despised,his ill-judged plan of attack
and defence. At Hie. saw-pits, however, they '
sounded the halt, fearing that he, would find re
inforcement among the sawyers,., But this, to
his great dismay, was not forthcoming, as they
had gone to dinner. He. therefore; tried to in
